Why I Try to CrossFit

The reason is simple: I want to get much more fit, and to do that requires a pretty hardcore routine. The thing I've found about CrossFit is that once I get into it for a few weeks it gets much easier, and I usually at that point hit midterms or something that keeps me out of the gym.

Why do I say I only try? Because I'm a thin runner-type not a lifter.

One of My Favorite Comics

If you havent read my (very short) list of favorite webcomics, xkcd is on the list.

It's actually pretty eclectic, but usually has a pretty nerdy under- (or over-) current.

For instance, this one (which I am conviced is the litmus test for mathematical insanity).

Here's how it works:

Do you find this:

1. Pathetic: who works on math while having sex?
2. Funny, but would never interupt sex to work on a proof.
3. Funny, and would be so distracted it would be hard to enjoy the enconter until you write it up.
4. Funny, and would interupt sex, but not write on your partner's body if short of paper.
5. Funny and you would absolutely do it.
6. Not funny--this is legitimate, normal behavior.

I would say if answer number one, you're probably normal. If you answer six, well, I'm not sure even someone like Nash would have gone that far.

I'm about a 4.
